3. Infections

Not surprisingly, one of the classic causes for chronic sinusitis is infections. Both bacterial and viral sinus infections can cause blocked sinuses. If you have a bacterial infection, your doctor may put you on a course of antibiotics. If your infection is from a virus, antibiotics will not treat the infection. The best course of action is to treat the symptoms and make yourself as comfortable as possible.
